Chapter 2943: Youyou Are My Fashion Darling 02

Five minutes later.

Just as Xu Li panicked, Wei Ze'an continued his daydream, the young tasker wondered if there was time to write a will now, and the office door was pushed open again.

Jin Chen returned, with someone following behind…

Xu Li and the young tasker gathered to look.

Director!

Xu Li sprang up from his chair, and Wei Ze'an finally snapped out of his reverie, hastily getting to his feet.

Jin Chen took Chenshu's hand and had him sit in the original spot.

Jin Chen stood behind Chenshu, arms around his neck, slightly bent, lifted his chin at the stunned Xu Li, declaring righteously, "Chenshu's luck is good, let him draw."

Everyone: "……"

This must be cheating, definitely cheating.

Xu Li pulled up the card-draw interface for Chenshu again, "Director… please."

Chenshu glanced back at Jin Chen, found it somewhat interesting, and lightly tapped the light screen.

R-rank experience card.

Compared to those three C-rank cards, this is already a qualitative leap.

Chenshu took the card from the light screen and placed it on the table before him.

Jin Chen glanced at it, then smiled, turned his head, and kissed Chenshu's cheek.

"It's still your luck that's better."

Xu Li: "……"

The young tasker silently put away his cards, deciding not to draw any more today.

Chenshu: "What are the rules for the experience card?"

Xu Li gasped, "This experience card is a special type in our event."

"It allows the tasker to enter a small world as an experiencer, randomly replacing an indigenous person's fate, personally living through a segment of that person's life, feeling the joys and sorrows, the karmic bonds."

Wei Ze'an quietly added, "But upon entering the small world, memory will be temporarily sealed, and one will experience it as an indigenous person, until the experience ends or a specific return condition is triggered."

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows, "So you're saying that both I and Chenshu will lose our memories upon entering?"

Wei Ze'an nodded, "Yes."

Jin Chen bent slightly, level with Chenshu's gaze, curled his lips, and asked, "If we both have no memory, will you still like me?"

Chenshu lifted his eyes to meet Jin Chen's gaze, took hold of the hand Jin Chen had resting on his shoulder, and gently pressed his fingertips on the back of Jin Chen's hand, "Youyou couldn't possibly not know the answer."

No matter if one has memory or not, no matter where one is, no matter what form one takes—

Getting close to you, falling in love with you—this has long been ingrained as an instinct in the depths of body and soul, the sole inevitability.

Jin Chen turned his hand to grasp Chenshu's, fingers interlaced, and told Xu Li, "Just this one—let's go together, me and Chenshu."

Just consider it a novel double journey.

Chenshu naturally had no objection, smiling and nodding.

Xu Li felt as if pardoned, quickly activated the experience card, bound it to Jin Chen's and Chenshu's identities, and set the transmission parameters.

"All right! Arranging it right away! Wishing Director and Boss Jin Chen an enjoyable experience!"

The transmission light array slowly lit up inside the office.

A few minutes later.

Xu Li stared at the transmission gate, suddenly frowned, rubbed his chin, and muttered, "Strange… I feel like I forgot to mention something…"

The inconspicuous Wei Ze'an slowly raised his head, as if suddenly recalling something, in his flat tone, "Our system program… can it temporarily retain the Director's memory?"

Wei Ze'an looked at the suddenly frozen Xu Li and slowly said, "We don't have that permission."

Xu Li: "……"

Wei Ze'an nodded, "So, if the program runs normally, the Director will retain all his memories and be able to possess that world's plot."

Xu Li: "……"

Isn't this just reversing Jin Chen's previous mission!

The transmission is already complete.

Now we can only pray that the Director is in a good mood and doesn't mind this small mishap.

Furthermore, in the situation where only he retains his memory, even with the amnesiac Boss Jin Chen, they could still have a pleasant experience…

——

The story takes place during the filming of the globally watched fashion competition reality show "Fashion Darling".

The show adopts a semi-live format; each episode has a corresponding theme for filming and selection. Contestants earn votes based on their rankings each episode, and the show uses an elimination system where the lowest-ranked are dropped. Ultimately, the winner will receive a full-line endorsement contract from the top-tier luxury group Aopalesi.

For any model or artist in the fashion world, this is enough to overturn one's career—the ultimate reward.

In this small world, Jin Chen is cannon fodder, prone to low blood sugar, loves playing games, and is too lazy to stand out.

The seme protagonist is called Min Heng, a colleague and roommate of Jin Chen at the same modeling agency, also a good friend. Min Heng knows Jin Chen's personality—he loses interest in anything after three minutes—so he's certain Jin Chen won't shine on this show, and thus invites him to join.

After joining the show, Min Heng began to manipulate things, hyping up their brotherly bond with Jin Chen, marketing how he takes care of this lazy roommate, and hinting that Jin Chen usually ignores everyone else, only speaking to him, which must be because he secretly loves him.

With all that, plus Min Heng's natural talent for networking and good rapport, his popularity only keeps rising.

During this process, he successfully caught the attention of the chief judge, Qi Jing.

The uke protagonist is Qi Jing, one of the five judges, a senior designer at the Aopalesi Group, with fastidious tastes and a stubborn, eccentric personality, acclaimed as the genius grave digger for eliminating countless contestants who had only looks but no substance.

But he somehow falls for Min Heng's act—each episode Min Heng manages to come up with something fresh and eye‑catching.

Little did they know, those sparks all came from Jin Chen's offhand remarks; however, Jin Chen was only there to rack up KPIs, tossing his ideas aside after mentioning them, and Min Heng, who took them, also couldn't be bothered to care.

Min Heng and Qi Jing's private relationship deepened; what truly warmed their feelings was that rainy night on the island.

During a forest shoot, an accident occurred; Qi Jing was in danger, and Min Heng "coincidentally" rescued him, also picking up a bracelet important to Qi Jing—a relic of his mentor—whereby they confirmed their romantic relationship.

With his connection to Qi Jing, Min Heng no longer needed to rely on brotherly feelings with Jin Chen to gain screen time.

He feared that Qi Jing would discover that the one who truly saved people on that rainy night was Jin Chen, and those stunning ideas were also thanks to Jin Chen's imagination.

So Min Heng secretly tripped up Jin Chen, allowing or even pushing public opinion to drive him into the depths of universal online hatred.

But Jin Chen was just lazy, not stupid.

The next day, after public opinion had blown up, he directly announced his withdrawal from the competition, turned and found Qi Jing to confess the truth of the rescue.

He wasn't asking for anything; he just couldn't stand Min Heng's smug face and blurted it out.

But he underestimated Qi Jing's eccentricity; in Qi Jing's view, the contestant named Jin Chen was not proactive in the competition, completely failing his standards for judging people, yet he happened to be his own lifesaver.

This left Qi Jing feeling conflicted, so he entered a cold war with Min Heng for a while.

After withdrawing, Jin Chen's life became even harder.

The company buried him under a pile of baseless dirt and demanded he pay a huge breach‑of‑contract fee, while Min Heng also tripped him up behind the scenes.

Jin Chen already found the world dull; being pressed again and again, he finally made up his mind and simply quit.

He used suicide to make a clean break, and in the end also left a big gift for Min Heng, the company, and Qi Jing.

Because of this gift, the two protagonists both collapsed, nearly bringing the little world to an end.

These stories took place on the island where the show was filmed, and the island's owner was none other than the mysterious CEO of Opalus who has never appeared publicly.
